In honor of Father's Day weekend, I decided that we would all have some family fun and go to the zoo on Saturday! We got all packed and ready to go--I had thought of everything! Yippee! As we know, an outing with Landon requires SEVERAL snacks and I was proud of myself for getting several somewhat healthy snacks together. I slathered him with sunscreen, got drinks for everyone, and grabbed the camera.....and we were off for our day of fun! Everything was going just splendidly as we arrived and did one of Landon's FAVORITE things: feed the birdies. We bought him a seed stick and happily, a hungry little bird found him right away! Just as he was feeding the bird, another bird flew up and landed on the top of Landon's head!!! After my initial gasp, I grabbed the camera to take a picture and only THEN did I realize that the batteries were dead! NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY words! It was a PRICELESS moment and I have no picture for it. It took Landon about 20 seconds to finally reach up to his head to see what was going on and then the bird flew away....and Landon started bawling! (A bit of a delayed reaction, I guess!) He continued to cry for a bit as everyone else around us came up and was laughing at what had happened! As hard as he cried, I know that if it had landed on MY head, I would have cried even harder. The little critters creep me out. We'll see if he wants to go feed the birdies at the zoo next time we're there. Here's a little reenactment from our zoo fiasco today:
Here is a picture taken from our previous trip to the zoo. Please note that mommy is being incredibly brave (thanks, Holly, for the picture!)
